In October 2004, Nemechek swept the weekend, winning both the NASCAR Nationwide and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Nemechek has not competed at Kansas Speedway in the NCWTS before but they are relying on the help of the Toyota Racing Development family for baseline set up.

Sid Mauldin, owner of SWM and partner in SWM-NEMCO Motorsports is currently receiving treatment at MD Anderson, located in Houston, TX and wanted to share his experience with the NASCAR community while showing support for the facility that has provided such impeccable care.

Father and son duo Joe and John Hunter Nemechek currently sit 10th in the NCWTS owner's standings following a eighth-place finish by Joe Nemechek in Daytona and an 11th-place run by 16-year old John Hunter Nemechek at Martinsville.
